Geneva 2011: Gumpert Tornante

Second model from German supercar builder hits the Geneva show floor

The Gumpert Tornante has been revealed at the Geneva motor show, and it's actually quite nice.

Touring Superleggera - the team behind the Bentley Shooting Brake concept - were brought in to add a touch of elegance and class to the Gumpert's hard-to-swallow looks, and they seem to have been working overtime.

It gets gullwing doors, composite body panels and a chrome-molybdenum steel space frame together with a carbon fibre monocoque. Power comes courtesy - as in the last Gumpert - of a 4.2-litre Audi V8 producing 700bhp, mated to a paddle-shift auto.

Not at all shabby for a V8-powered ‘Fast Tourer' GT, you might agree...
